And, "Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor scurrility, which are not convenient, but rather giving of thanks."[609]

This filthy speaking the apostle beats off, saying, "Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but what is good."[122]

Also whist the apostle says: "Let no corrupt communication proceed from thy mouth, but that which is good to the edifying of faith, that it may minister grace unto the hearers."[5]

And be ye kind one to another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ hath forgiven you."[23]
